I use the xml import and export exclusively for producing audio described music for the blind. The xml shows the "harmony" code is in there. But opened in MuseScore 4 and no chords show. So I am unable to visually edit any incorrect xml import because none of the chords are showing in MuseScore - I can't find out if a chord starts on the correct timing, if the chord name is correct or anything. Manual entry of chords would make a huge mess of my then to be exported xml file for me to upload into my software for the blind.

Think the workaround is:

After opening the xml file do:

Go to Menu->Layout->Style->Chordsymbols

Change the Style to Jazz (as if it is magic....chordsymbols will appear now)
Change the Style back to Standard (if desired)
